The Woolworths Group, the largest retailer in Australia and New Zealand, is partnering with Gr4vy, a cloud-native payment infrastructure provider, to power the retailer's Wpay payment platform.

Woolworths is using Gr4vy's payment orchestration technology to accelerate its product development and innovation agenda and offer advanced payment options to its brands and other Wpay merchants in Australia, according to a press release.

Woolworths Group represents one of the largest processors of card payments in Australia, settling an annual value of more than $60 billion in payments across more than 1.1 billion transactions in 2022 alone. Wpay, a standalone payment business launched by Woolworths Group in June 2022, extends the benefits of the investments the retailer has made in its payments platform to other merchants who may not have the scale to build it themselves.

Gr4vy's team collaborated with Wpay to identify and deliver specific Gr4vy product and payment orchestration infrastructure capabilities to implement and enhance the already comprehensive payment platform and product offerings. As a result, merchants onboarded through the Wpay platform can now offer even more exceptional payment optionality, streamline and manage transactions both on the front and back end of the checkout experience and effectively drive better customer payment experiences.

"Wpay is committed to investing in leading-edge payment capabilities and technologies to help service our retail businesses and provide the best possible customer experience as part of our Wpay payments platform," Paul Monnington, managing director of Wpay, said in the release. "I'm excited about this partnership, what it will bring to our merchants' customer payments experiences and look forward to collaborating in the future."
